shud be a simple exchange really
u send back the 2.0 head and he sends u the 2.5 one
altho to be truthful he shud also give u back some money cos of the wasted time and gasket set.

the head was sold as always in totally good faith new cam rockers etc, richytouring recieved the head I get a text saying the head looks good which it is!he then posts thanx item as described i have tried bending over backwards in offering to send him my head which aint for sale & owes me a lot more than what he paid for the other but i need security as sending Ԛ£400 to a stranger just aint the done thing,I told the mechanic he was well pleased with the head so taking it back telling him its not a 2.5 but a 2.0l he's probably going to tell me im having a laugh / f off,No consolatuion i know it may not be a 2.5 but the head is still worth the money it was sold for hopefully something can be sorted out but when people start giving it i expect you to deliver & pick up the old head er I made a measly Ԛ£20 drink on it thought i was doing the lad a favour,as far as i was concerned it was a 2.5 head & so did he as his comments are written down as "thanks Item as described" refund is not an option as the money has already been done!

u cannot get away with selling somone something that appears ok but isnt what its supossed to be.
end of the day if this goes to court you will end up paying the money back, court fees and the Ԛ£90 for the watsed headset.
Be a man and admit you fcuked up and find some way of sorting it out.
This site it a community and depsite a few arguements here and there ppl on it stick together and look out for one another. Ppl like u are not welcome if ur gonna screw over other members

i've read some of your earlier posts mark3, and you say you have a 325 head 'stashed for a rainy day'
so what is this then?
if your gona get involved in being a middle man then you have to take some of the responsibility.

what do you mean try? you WILL be finding this head for Richy. How can you possibly be arguing about this?mark3 wrote:I will try & source you a head for the same value, end of.
You said you had a 325 head for sale but then sold a 320 instead
it's like saying you have a 730 for sale where in actual fact it's a mini.
Obviously you cannot see the difference in heads if you dont have one to hand or is not visable. Richy has obviously left feedback before he tried to fit it to the car like and decent person would.
YOU are in the wrong.

i just want money refuned and head collected
there is now way im going to accept ahead that hasused parts for that kind of money
i could have had onefor a lot less off a local zoner
reason i went with this head was because i was told that it had anew cam kit init.
at end of day i dont piss people about on here
this mess has lef me out of pocket with a head that i cant use or be able to get my moneyback if i sell it on
so now i have been left with no choice but to break my car to recoupe some money that has been spent on it

right I bought the head off a mechanic I was told it was a 2.5 I know there are 2 variants in the 2.5 blocks mine has 88 this one had 90 so as far as i was concerned it was a 2.5 allright,look i have sold loads of parts etc on here never ever have i ripped any one off i was sold it in good faith (apparently)I passed it on in good faith & thought i was doing the lad a favour
